Thanks for the support

Hey

 

I've been going through a rough time lately. My wife left me in October and I've taken it hard.

 

I just wanted to thank the community here for the support I've received, including the firm comments from some, which has really helped me with my recovery.

 

Although I'm not through this yet, I am still going forward. There are times of happiness, and I'm sure that these will multiply.

 

Thanks again.

Hang in tree buddy, it only gets better. As long as you proactively continue to contribute towards your recovery, you will be ok.

Most of us seem to be suffering. It does get better in time. I cannot imagine what it is like to lose someone after a longer period.

 

For me, losing my BPD after 4 years was killer. It actually happened twice because we reconciled. If it's any consolation, I find that every week I feel a little more like myself. I still be depression waves if I have been working hard but that's all apart of the recovery.

 

We are all here to help.

Please keep in mind that isolation is a killer in times like this. I don't know what you have for a support, but the Divorce Recovery group I attended was very helpful to me. I also got active in a Men's group in my local church. I am now working for a Marriage & Family Ministry and know about other resources if you are interested. I don't post links very often on this site unless people ask directly, but I know of a free counselling service if you think it will be a help. Blessings - good days are ahead!

 

Thanks so much for this post. I'd be grateful for any resources you'd suggest.

 

I have been getting counselling, but progress is slow at best and I'm desperate to recover. I've also started going to church and have joined a men's study group. Reaching out is definitely important. One of my biggest challenges, though, is that the person I most want to reach out to is my wife... and that's a definite no-no!
